I get more pissed at that than being on the receiving end of one of those Runway Bashers due to the fact that at most, they get one or two runs and then die an embarrassing death.

The Fury ... this is just one of those things in AH that your just gonna have to deal with. Runway Bashers are those who can't fight and always get their arse handed to them when they do fight ... and it hurts them emotionally ... so rather than jump back into the saddle and try again ... they play Runway Basher so that they can revel in the satisfaction that they did get to kill someone and are able to sleep at night.


I was going to say the exact same thing.  I've seen them blaze by when the attacker are outnumbered and getting thrashed by the defenders, make a feeble attempt at the vulch and then fly away never to offer their country-mates any help. They may do this 2,3,or 4 times. If they get a kill or 2 then they are gone if they are not dead before that. That is truly pathetic.

Love Vulchers
« Reply #33 on: October 18, 2006, 03:15:34 PM »
I personally love the satisfaction of clearing a capped field. Does it always work? No. But if the VH is up I know I cam gonna clear some of the vulchers out with my Osti. If the VH is down will go kill the ords at the base they are coming from and then wait for the VH to pop. Then laugh as I watch them dance or head back to their base.

I fly mostly the Zero in LW so I rarely have alt or position and usually have to turn my six to an enemy plane to get him to bite.

I disagree the lifter is "no threat". In fact i find the lifters are just as big a threat because they will Ho anything because they just have to re-up.

Yeah it's the only way I get a kill. lol Nice try. but no.

I have ZERO sympathy for those who get vulched, especially repeatedly. I hardly ever get vulched. It's about as rare for me as puffy ack. Perhaps the people getting vulched don't have a clue about SA? Or perhaps their team should do a better job of protecting the airspace instead of all 5 of them chasing 1 con. lol

Yes. Red is Red.

I am not advocating not fighting other cons. I am simply saying I am not gonna not kill an upper just because the sky is full of planes. Any red plane that comes across my sights will be shot at.

the thing I admire most about players such as these fellows is how they do everything together.  they gang people. just the other day I slapped down three in a 5 v 1,  they attack on the bbs together, I'm sure they even go to the bathroom together when they attend the conventions.  truly admirable behavior.

fwiw, not a lot of vultching in the EW and MW arenas.  some, yeah, but ack is much more of an issue and the lone vultcher isn't really a problem.
